A frisky day

Feeling better and getting ready for a day trip.

Red Barn

Sorry I have been negligent with the writing. I have been fighting symptoms since New Years! I have not been sick enough to 'skip' work, but I have slept through a few weekends and I've been through 3 big boxes of tissues and one bottle each of DayQuil and NyQuil. My favorite weekend was when I did not get out of my pj's for 2 days. So finally I feel fine, with only a mild sniffle, and now my hubby is talking about his cold. Today we are going on a wild mystery tour, of sorts. We are taking the kids to the Children's Museum of Minnesota. How brave we are. A 2 year old and a 3 year old that have been shut up in the house for a month of cold weather out and set free. Makes me think of what it was like to let the pony or the calves out of the barn on a frisky day. If we survive, it will be back home in the early afternoon for a long nap. Our hardest decision of the spring is in the works. What to do about health insurance when my husband becomes eligible for Medi....whatever. Supplemental plans are a mystery to me. Glad that he is retired and has hours and hours to do research. I am thinking of all the money we will save when I go from family insurance to single, but now I am thinking it will all go to the supplementals. My mother will be 97 in February. I think I went for 30 years with talking to her on the phone once every 2 weeks. We are now on the 7pm every night plan. It is a miracle to have a Mom when I am 60, so just enjoying every conversation, which is nearly always the same. What we had for dinner, the weather, and who she saw during the day. I know that when she says, "talk to you tomorrow", there will be a day when that will not be. People say that people are living longer lives than they did 50 years ago. I disagree. Everyone that I know that is in their 90's was born before 1950. Just sayin'.
